Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani Sent To 5-Day Police Custody In Assault Case https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/gujarat-mla-jignesh-mevani-sent-to-5-day-police-custody-in-assault-case-2922026
Jignesh Mevani's counsel said he will move the bail petition at a higher court in Barpeta tomorrow.
"We are absolutely surprised. There was not a whisper about the assault on officials when he was under police custody for three days. Suddenly after he was granted bail, he was shown as rearrested," Mr Mevani's lawyer said yesterday.

The MLA, who is under police protection provided by the Gujarat government since 2017, following a 'security assessment', was picked up by the Assam Police late in the night last week from the government circuit house in Palanpur following an FIR objecting to a tweet of his that was critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

What changed with the 2019 amendments: - Requirement for FIR, before searches and seizures by ED, was done away with. Goes on to indicate the direction in which India and it's Political discourse is headed.

जब सुप्रीम कोर्ट में पड़ी फटकार तो बोले ED के वकील : मैं भाग नहीं रहा हूँ माई लार्ड | Supreme Court https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzT430XOg7w The Legal Observer Jul 11, 2024 The Supreme Court reprimanded the ED for not making progress in the case for 4 years. The court said that the ED neither filed an ECIR nor filed a complaint under PMLA since Tuteja was granted anticipatory bail in the Chhattisgarh liquor policy case in August 2020. A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih said that since Tuteja was granted anticipatory bail in August 2020, the ED has neither filed an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) nor filed a complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The court remarked, "Neither the 2019 ECIR has been filed. Anticipatory bail was granted in August 2020. What is this happening? You (ED) have not even filed a complaint under PMLA."

The misuse of draconian laws for political gain https://www.newindianexpress.com/opinions/2024/May/26/the-misuse-of-draconian-laws-for-political-gain Kapil Sibal 27 May 2024,
The PMLA is perhaps the most draconian law in the history of India. Preventive detention laws, which were often used at one time, still provided for procedural safeguards that are absent in this legislation.
monies generated from the predicate offence are proceeds of crime and using those proceeds by projecting them as untainted money is ‘money laundering’. By virtue of the explanation added to the definition of money laundering through the Finance Act, 2019, it in effect alters the meaning of money laundering. .The added explanation obliterates the distinction between proceeds of crime and money laundering. Therefore, under the law as it stands today, the proceeds of crime and money laundering allow the ED to enter any state to investigate the offence... Even though the predicate offence has not resulted in a chargesheet and is at the initial stage of investigation, the ED merrily starts arresting persons. Once arrested, it is impossible for the accused to secure bail because of the stringent legal provisions wherein the court has to come to the conclusion that the accused is not guilty of the offence.
